Meeting summary: same prompt, different AI

Task: Turn a meeting transcript into minutes and action items. Below is the same job written the way each tool works best. All prompts are RuleStack originals (MIT). We describe how prompting differs, not which tool is "best": we haven't run benchmarks, and results change with every model update.
